🤖 Using AI to Write Better Code More Slowly

The article explores the perspective of a prolific JavaScript developer who challenges the common belief that large language models (LLMs) are only useful for generating code quickly—often at the expense of quality. Instead, the author argues that LLMs can be powerful tools for writing higher quality code, especially when used thoughtfully and at a slower, more deliberate pace.

By leveraging LLMs for tasks like code review, refactoring, and exploring alternative solutions, developers can enhance their understanding and produce more robust, maintainable code. The article provides practical examples and insights into how LLMs can support a more mindful and effective development process.
